Hit and miss [Posted on 2008-07-15]
My experience with this is spotty. It works great with either my iPhone or iPod classic, but only in my Ford Escape, which has its antenna in the front.
In my Hyundai, the interference is unbearable. Its antenna is in the back, confirming what a previous reviewer had discovered: it doesn't work very well with rear antennae).
Disappointing.
Great industrial design, too bad it does not broadcast a signal [Posted on 2008-07-23]
Absolutely perfect design, but an awful product. The "clearscan" does a better job finding actual stations than finding empty space. In fact, I believe a random function would work better. I was able to here faint music from my 1G iPhone twice. The "Pro" function cycles between no signal, very weak signal, and mono weak signal. The broadcast signal is so weak that my Saab radio frequently passed over it entirely.
Good luck with this one Belkin, I suspect you won't be selling many of these in the future and getting most of them (including this one) back.
Weak Signal [Posted on 2008-07-31]
For the price, you would expect the unit to transmit 3 feet to your car antenna. Unfortunely if the transmitter is below the dash all that you get is static.
Very Poor Product [Posted on 2008-08-24]
I bought this for my girlfriend and we were severely disappointed. She has a Nissan Murano (with the antenna in the front) and I could not find a clear station after cycling through the entire FM spectrum.
My complaints are completely inline with other folks:
* The signal strength is just too weak to get a clear, consistent audio experience. If you touch or move the unit around, you are sure to hear static.
* The auto tuner is horrible. Many times it seems to randomly pick a station. Sometimes with a signal strength so strong, I'm unable to hear anything being broadcast by the Belkin unit
* The iPhone complains about this not being a compatible device, although it does charge the phone (both first-gen and 3G) and transmit audio.
This unit is going back to the store today. Not what I expected from Belkin.

Alot of static..Locked in channel(s)fades out. High cost for a poor product. Don't waste your time & money. Go with a direct cable line.
